Unreal Motion Design is Here!

[@madheeh]

Unreal is no longer just a game engine, it's an entire entertainment creation suite!

[@JonathanWinbush]

100%

[@madheeh]

@@JonathanWinbush from the man himself! 👊👊

[@imalexx]

As a C4D and After effects user, I was always scared off by Unreal UI, but this is promising! I’m looking forward your tutorials! Cheers.

[@robheppellvideooffice]

Make the switch man, every UI is terrifying for about a month, then it’s not and it’s just stuff you have to find out

[@robheppellvideooffice]

Have you tried to do anything in after effects bigger than 4k recently? It can’t really handle 4k still and beyond that it just falls over. Especially anything with Particular, and the caching system is basically broken.

[@robheppellvideooffice]

@user-uq6zt2ni5m that’s crazy if you’re trying to get nice details on a large screen. What I did was use touchdesigner because it’ll do realtime particles based on footage at 5k. With AE I was getting 10 seconds per hour rendered. You can kind of do similar things to TD in unreal, but there are certain things TD can do which unreal with Niagara can’t working with footage, but either unreal or TD would’ve been much much faster. Try some other programs, they make things that take forever in AE much quicker. Obviously not everything, but AE is dead in the water for most things which involve image analysis it seems.

[@robheppellvideooffice]

Also topaz is great generally, but there are some areas where you can tell or it can’t do it, particularly with computer generated stuff, and if you’re putting it on a really big screen its often much worse

[@robheppellvideooffice]

We did use topaz to upscale the 5k to 10k at the end too as the final screen was huge, but it worked a lot better with TD output than AE output for some reason- I think something to do with the mipmap method being controllable in TD.

[@BlackMixture]

Exciting stuff here! Great vid as always and thanks for pushing this out while traveling 😁

[@JonathanWinbush]

Absolutely fam

[@RmaNYouTube]

can you control effectors, and other layers in motion design with OSC and MIDI? if yes, that would be a game changer for creating interactive art!!!

[@EnterMyDreams]

that’s what i’m hoping for too!!

[@sbim1373]

You can control any parameter in Unreal Engine with osc/midi, could be also the case with the Motion design mode.

[@jawbone1218]

I honestly did not expect 5.4 out now. What a time we live in.

[@Oldyellowbrick]

It’s mind blowing that simple 2D motion graphics is no way near real-time in software like After Effects, when computers are capable of rendering full blown 3D worlds at 120fps.

[@kurnikoff]

Cavalry can do complex 2D in pretty much real time :) Give it a go :)

[@btn237]

It both is and isn’t, since Unreal is not performing the same operations as After Effects and also doesn’t have the same capabilities. 3D software works in a fundamentally different way to raster 2D software. And you’ll notice that when you start to add large image textures or video files into 3D applications (even Unreal), the application can start to chug in a similar way to AE does. 3D is more comparable to 2D vector software in terms of using lightweight mathematical descriptions to describe objects. Which is why you can get huge speed benefits for ‘some’ kinds of operations. There’s a flip side in that certain kinds of operations simply aren’t possible in Unreal, there are benefits of doing things the way that After Effects or Nuke does, that allow you to do operations that aren’t possible for a 3D realtime application (think blend modes, masking, video effects etc). A particular problem After Effects faces is that it’s rasterising everything even when you’re using vector tools (in a similar way to Photoshop). Other software such as cavalry that’s a proper vector canvas can be faster than AE for some tasks. But always when you start to get video into the mix, particularly hi res video, most applications will start to slow down because having to do calculations on millions of pixels for every frame is taxing.

[@Oldyellowbrick]

@@kurnikoff yeah I’ve played around with it, it’s good but I wouldn’t consider it a direct replacement for AE. I would only be able to transfer a small portion of workflow if I were to use it. Definitely something to keep an eye on though!

[@Oldyellowbrick]

@@btn237 yeah I’m aware of most of what you said. But AE is extremely slow on even high end systems, and my comment was regarding the slow speed of even very simple shapes. It’s basically a relic not taking advantage of what your system is capable of. I think the possibility is there if a company were to want to enter the space and innovate by building something from new. But nobody has because motion design is a niche, especially if the tool were to compete with AE it would need all the VFX capability too which would just be a mammoth task for little return. Compared to new video editing software which seems to come out every week because it’s high demand.

[@alexmehler6765]

@@kurnikoff i could not even import an image sequence , seems it can only use its internal vector engine

Sir, can we add object tag kind of thing in This motion design tool for UE, so that in ae I can replace with my image later? Just like c4d?

[@JonathanWinbush]

I'll be making tutorials next week but do you have an example of what you mean?

@@JonathanWinbush I mean like in c4d if I Animate a mobile model and add object tag there and render it and import in Affer effects. Then in Ae we can easily replace the screen with any image. As well as we also get the camera, So can we do that for Motion design tool for UE to Ae

😮Damn! Can’t wait for your series on this! I feel like this could be the thing that finally gets me away from only using After Effects.

Really looking forward to playing with this. Opens so many possibilities i needed other software to achieve.

[@commontimeproductions]

This is so exciting! More and more I have not needed stuff like after effects for 3D. This just sealed the deal lol. I have full creative cloud, but with this it just puts everything in the editor I use the most. What a great upgrade. Also looking forward to those real looking animation sets they showed off. Hope GDC goes well! As always, you rock Winbush!

[@lucaspacheco618]

are we are going to be able to build those effectors procedually with nodes?

Can I make an effector controlled by an image color or alpha ?

[@JonathanWinbush]

Will take a bit for the course as some stuff might change since this is in preview

[@JMANTAM]

What up! What up! I took your Unreal course at SOM about a year ago and learned a lot. I was wondering, will you be modifying/updating the workflows in that course now that Unreal has these motion design specific features?

Hi WINBUSH, new to your channel but I will be following you, this is something I've been excited about ever since I saw it a while back. I have a question are the samples by Andy publicly available or is this something you've got exclusive access to? It would be really nice to be able to play around with them and learn. Thanks!

[@JonathanWinbush]

I don't think they are public but let me ask him after GDC if he plans on making them public. He's a cool guy I'm sure he'd be down.

[@jCatzDev]

@@JonathanWinbushGracias, it would be really great if you could find out. I'm trying to replicate a couple of effects you showed in your video, specially the connection between audio and effector, but there is still not enough documentation out there, and my knowledge of Unreal is still lacking a lot to piece some things. I appreciate you 🤗

Do you know if there are plans for pixel/compositing effects like chromakey, warps, painting etc, that would allow this to become a true AE replacement? Or is the focus mainly staying in 3D/2.5D ? Looks very cool!

[@JonathanWinbush]

You can do keying already in Unreal I did a tutorial not to long ago on it and there are also warp effects in this update but it's not as robust as AE yet. I think it'll get interesting once the plugin devs swoop in like that do in the AE community
